Hip-Hop’s Fight for Cannabis Reform Is Neverending

From Rich Homie Quan’s latest legal troubles to Snoop’s business endeavors, rap music and cannabis culture have become synonymous.

Hip-hop and cannabis have had a love-hate relationship for decades now. And while some of the most successful rappers in the genre have crafted their careers around a love for the kind bud, others have been thrown in jail or kicked out of countries just for smoking some sticky.

“I think hip-hop has always embraced cannabis from a creativity standpoint, and I think it’s important that hip hop artists that are in the spotlight show the positive effects of cannabis, from a business standpoint, creativity of course, and even health and wellness.” Cooper said.

While Quan faces 30 years in prison for his bud, artists like Snoop and the Wu-Tang Clan have turned rap game success into legal weed businesses at the heart of the emerging industry. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any other facet of pop culture more dedicated to every aspect of cannabis culture.
